Skrmetti, a case being heard next month that could have a dramatic impact on young people’s access to medical transition. We talk through the brief and the historical evidence it contains dispelling popular myths that trans kids are new or that transition is itself dangerous; and show that medical transition and youth transition have histories stretching back far further than popular accounts would lead you to believe.
